    Not understanding why people like us

But that can't be enough.....", and with love interests it feels almost amplified. I have some insecurities of the heart I still need to work out, but I'm way better than I used to be, and it feels like every day I'm getting better about it :)

    There are times where if I really, honestly, and deeply feel I am doing nothing for the other person. I just want them to be happy, and I'll gladly duck out, because I don't want to be with someone who I'm holding back from having an amazing relationship for my own sake. That's selfish, and I won't have it. Compliments and reminders are just a way of letting me know where I stand, and so long as I know where I stand with people I am very comfortable. I try to do others the same courtesy... I think I've got it down, and most people know where they stand with me. Mainly the ones I care about, and even some of the ones I don't care for have got the hint.
    I have also felt this many time, even with my current girlfriend. Why do people like me? I just don't understand it.



    So after reading this post it made me wonder how common among ENFJ this thought/feeling is.

    you all are warmhearted people. it's hard not to love someone in whose presence you feel loved. :)

    you all sometimes have no idea how easy you are to like. :)

    I feel this way all the time. Especially when people are generous towards me.
    People tell me, "I was just talking about you! You're so funny!" And I never understand it.

    It's just a natural part of being XNFJ in my opinion.

    I can feel like this as well.
    Wondering why my best friend chooses ME of all people to hang with.
    (I don't know, I just feel like I'm a terrible friend most of the time)

    Other people seem to like me as well. I don't know why. It can be pretty annoying sometimes.
    (Heh. I guess in the end of the day, I'm my worse critic! XD)

    I think I have an inferiority complex... :(

    Well for me I deep down free I'm only kept around a group to be made fun of because I felt that way in my last town. Here in Cali though I've been shown that I'm not just an annoying friend and people like me. And I do on occasion wonder why people like me.
